loving through the pain

If I had one wish, it would be to heal the world of all its pain....
There are too many hurting people, some of which deserved none of it. I met a beautiful girl through a friend of mine. She is gorgeous, one of the prettiest girls I've ever met. We all had lunch and she just started spilling her life story. She had been molested and beaten severely by her father her entire childhood. Only later to be in other abusive relationships.
I've been told she is a liar and highly competitive, always trying to have one up on someone else. (Much of which stems from jealously, not knowing her inner pain) All of what I've seen, I now understand where her behavior comes from. She, like many of us...are broken. Its a miracle she made it through all she had a has been through. At the end of the day I just want to help her in any way to continue to succeed in life. I've always had a support system and that has been the biggest blessing. Having the opportunity to be that for some else is all I desire. Many people do not have the desire to help anyone else. Our culture encourages us to be self centered. At the end of the day, if the only person benefiting from your life is you...there is a problem.

In order to be the change, you have to be the change. I refuse to let what others say about another keep me from seeing the person for who they are....a human being.
I desire love, therefor I love. *God Bless*
